Motion for leave to appeal dismissed for being out of time and lacking merit.
The plaintiff sought leave to appeal an interlocutory order compelling the production of historical medical records dating back to 2000 in a personal injury action.
The court dismissed the motion for leave to appeal primarily because it was served out of time and the plaintiff did not seek an extension.
The court also noted that the motion would fail on the merits, as the requested records were relevant to the plaintiff's pre-existing complaints and proportional to the $2 million damages claim.
